Interactions

2026-03-30

  • Reached out to get his opinion on a CR from Aleks Gyorev (storage team, under Chen Song, skip Jason Chen)
  • The CR was a one-line fix for a pandas incompatibility that had stopped the Excessive Notification Monitoring reports from running since December 2025
  • Aleks hadn’t spoken to me beforehand and just put up the CR with the title claiming 97 failures, which was misleading since it’s a bi-weekly job and there were only 14 failed runs
  • Took Tanay’s opinion, constructed my comment on the CR, and said LGTM
  • In the comment, acknowledged we were aware of the issue but it wasn’t funded for 2025/2026 so it hadn’t been prioritized
  • Also alluded that the cost savings achieved were because of the monitoring and follow-ups that me and Tanay do

  • Asked him what he thought about promptfoo and sent him an article about it being acquired by OpenAI; waiting to hear back more

  • Indicated that I make up most of the modeling tool usage
